Reviews Summary
Sapporo Teppanyaki Liverpool offers a fun and entertaining dining experience with a teppanyaki show that delights customers. The food is generally praised for its delicious flavors and quality, with many enjoying the interactive cooking right at their table. However, some find the experience to be on the expensive side, and occasional issues with service speed or meal pacing have been noted.
"Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious — packed with bold, authentic flavors that instantly reminded us of home. What made the experience even more special was knowing that a talented Thai chef was behind the magic in the kitchen. The atmosphere was vibrant, fun, and friendly, making it the perfect place to enjoy great food and good company. Service was warm and attentive throughout, making us feel truly welcomed. A wonderful spot that we’d definitely return to again and again."

"I ordered the Shogun with Salmon as the main. It was very tasty, and so were the ribs as starters. I tasted the chicken my friend ordered, and it was okay-ish.
The funny and entertaining staff were the highlight, and their birthday celebration experience looked fun.
The negatives were the fumes and pungent smell from the cooking area in the middle. I was fortunate enough to be seated in the middle where I didn't feel anything, but my friends to the sides had to swap seats and walk around to get some fresh air after a while. I'm not sure if it was the exhaust not functioning properly on our side, but it does warrant a deduction of a star.
Another minor niggle was the wait, and that my friend asked for a glass of water to soothe the smell as we were about to leave, but never got it despite waiting for it for a while."

"What a culinary experience this place is.
It’s like being part of a master chef episode and then getting to eat the food too. 🤩 all the food was cooked on a griddle in front of you and the chef was amazing. He gave us tricks flicks and juggling with the various utensils he used throughout the process. Our group had a variety of fish (cooked and raw) Chicken, Steak. All cooked to perfection with fresh vegetables and egg fried rice. The whole experience was first class from start to finish. Excellent value for money. I’d highly recommend this to families, and groups out for a night of Food and entertainment.
Well done and Thanks to everyone who made our night Top class 👏👏👏"
